So the device doesn't show if I'm on lte or 3g. The rep at the store said nothing was required, and cutting my sim would be fine. How do I know if in getting lte

I strongly doubt cutting your sim will work, the micro sim has a different tech on it hence why they are selling it rather than suggesting everyone "cutting" the card...that is probably why you don't see LTE, only 3g...The Micro sim is LTE capable but not the regular one that I assume you have since you mentioned cutting.

The sim should have been free with the brand new purchase of the phone . Good luck.

Who is your carrier? In Canada the carriers went to what they call a "V3 Micro Sim" this is a 3G and LTE sim card. If you didn't have a V3 sim then cutting it to fit into a micro sim slot will not give you LTE as it cannot connect to that network.

One thing you might want to check is that LTE is enabled. To do this go to "Settings, Network Connections and click on "Mobile Network" and then "Network Technology" I have lte disabled by default as I heard it drains battery, I only turn it on in the event I'm downloading something.

While this could be the case if the user turned it off, this setting is on by default.

forgot I made this thread. Will update for anybody getting this on a search result. When you have wifi on it replaces the LTE symbol on the phone. First few days I was in wifi area non-stop so I couldnt tell what mobile connection I was receiving.
